He's not arguing for OpenAI, but for the rest of us. AI is a public technology, but we're on the verge of losing our ability to participate due to things like this and the megacorps' attempts at regulatory capture. Which they might just get. Their campaign against AI is a lot like governments' attempts to destroy encryption. Support open source development, It's our only chance. Their AI will never work for us. John Carmack put it best.
Fuck "Open"AI, fuck Microsoft. Pragmatism or slavery.

If you want to know my personal political stance, I think every company with more than 50 or so employees should be owned by the state. I'm for the dismantling of the stock market and the owner caste. I'm also a realist and understand those things won't come to pass anytime soon. OpenAI will remain and they will happily eat all the fines if it guarantees them a monopoly.
I wasn't playing devil's advocate. My point is these legislation only help companies like OpenAI while bringing no benefit whatsoever to any of us.
Yes but that isn't what is being currently proposed, is it?
That's a pretty good trick, trying to conflate regulation of OpenAI with other impossible ideals you claim to hold, and drawing a hard line between that and your own suggestion: to let OpenAI win.
Heaven forbid anybody fight OpenAI, you think the best thing to do is avoid regulations. You claim to dislike OpenAI, yet you align with them. Where have I heard that one before?

I feel sorry for your clients.
(By the way, Grimy claims to be a copyright lawyer, but for some reason he only crawls out of the woodwork when OpenAI is discussed. Sam Altman himself seems like a less biased source for how AI should be treated.)"
Grimy, you always end up writing these kinds of comments while never adressing my actual arguments.
I never claimed to be a copyright lawyer and there is literally no other copyright discussion except the ones pertaining to AI. I touched on my ideals because you were implying I was pro big business.
I always try to have a reasonable discussion with you but you always end up writing these kinds of comments while never adressing my actual arguments. Have a good day bro.
Do you have any actual contention with how you use scummy tactics to defend OpenAI, or was the label the only thing that mattered to you?
